WD today introduced its newly redesigned My Book World Edition network storage drive for Macs and PCs. The drive features Gigabit Ethernet and a USB 2.0 port for additional storage expansion, as well as an integrated UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) media server and iTunes server for streaming all of your music, photos and videos. Users can also securely access and share their centralized files from anywhere in the world where they have access to the Internet, using the My Book World Edition drive's Web remote access service. The new My Book World Edition is available in capacities of 1TB and 2TB, with prices starting at $229.99.

I'm going with a MediaSmart server at the end of the month. Beyond the Drobo (with DroboShare), I think it's the best NAS product out there right now for the money. Plus, we're talking was more redundancy.

Interesting they lost the dual drive model.
Also, I never knew they make 2TB 3.5" drives
I have to say, I'm starting to like WD's stuff - The sutomatic backups and stuff look like a good solution for unfortunate PC users who don't have the gift of time machine
Our family recently got one of their media players, and it works like a charm!

They just came out a few weeks ago. In fact, I think WD was first to market with their drive.

Personally, I don't like the idea of putting all of my data on a single 2TB hard drive. I would at least want another 2TB for a mirror. WD's 2TB drive is crazy expensive though. I'm talking like triple the price of most 1TB drives.

WD does make a 2TB drive, it's slow though.

I've always been iffy about WD, and lately, from personal and friend experiences, I've learned to never trust WD (at least for the time being).

The HP MediaSmart Server rocks, it's the best thing out there, and HP now supports PC's and Mac's.

I don't have one, cause I built my own Windows Home Server, but the HP perhaps makes more sense cause of size, warranty, and someone you can call to bug if you have issues. I built my own only because I wanted to use the WHS OS (It's Server 2003: Small Business Edition), to it's full potential.
